Dear friends:
"CureIt.exe", is it good as a standalone antivirus?
Can you trust it?
Thanks

It is NOT an anti vurus application. It is Dr. Web's removal tool.
It is trustworthy IFF it is obtained directly from Dr. Web.

Well, I expect to be one in that category!!!!!
My idea is to load CureIt in a pendrive to help some friends that
aren't computer users with common sense.

Surely. But after the disaster, I will be able to check the computer
without to have the danger of using an outdated antivirus already
installed (and maybe infected too).

To be an application it would need an installer and perform "On Demand" and "On Access"
scanning.
A utility runs "On Demand" scans.
I know, I wrote the Multi AV Scanning Tool. It is not an application, it is a utility.
